Chelsea’s full squad for match vs Everton revealed

Chelsea can’t count on the services of Alvaro Morata for match against Everton this weekend.

The Spain international received his fifth booking in the Carabao Cup against Bournemouth in midweek and is illegal to play.

Eden Hazard is expected to start as a “false nine” in the center of attack at Goodison Park.

Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte, who is still without Charly Musonda (groin) and David Luiz (knee), is likely to revert to his first-choice line-up after making eight changes against Bournemouth on Wednesday.

Chelsea squad: Courtois, Caballero, Rudiger, Alonso, Fabregas, Drinkwater, Kante, Hazard, Pedro, Bakayoko, Moses, Kenedy, Zappacosta, Willian, Batshuayi, Cahill, Christensen, Azpilicueta, Clarke-Salter, Sterling, Eduardo, Ampadu, Hudson-Odoi.

Conte said earlier that he would welcome new players in January, with the team entering a hectic fixture schedule with a small squad.

“If there is the possibility to improve the squad numerically it would be a good choice,” Conte said on Thursday.

“I’m ready to continue to play with all these players. They are showing me great commitment, great behaviours.

“At the same time if there is the possibility to improve our squad, I think the club will try to do this.”
